Dina Saeva didn’t have it easy in her life. It was quite the opposite. Dina shared they didn’t even have a table at their home, and they studied on the floor. 

In the early 2000s, after ten years, Dina’s parents finally had all the documents ready to leave their country and received Russian citizenship. Hoping for a better life, her parents moved to Yekaterinburg, Russia. 

Everything was alright for some time, but it quickly took a nosedive. They eventually got kicked out of their apartment and were forced to live on the street. The family lived in a club where Dina’s father worked as a security guard from Monday to Thursday. They couldn’t live there from Friday to Sunday because the club had guests. The family needed to walk around Ikea and look for a place to spend their nights.
